Did you Know that the Birth of Jesus Fulfilled a 1000 Year Old Prophecy?

Both Jesus and Moses were hidden by their parents from tyrannical rulers who had issued a decree to kill all of the male infant children in the area where they were born? Both of them were escorted into Egypt by a relative - a woman who was a young virgin named "Mary." Thus, the flight into Egypt by Jesus, fulfilled part of the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:15 "The LORD your God will raise up a prophet like me for you from among your relatives. You must listen to him."

See Matthew 1:18-2:18 and Exodus 1:8-2:8 (Note: the English name "Mary" is derived from "Miriam," the Hebrew name of Moses' sister).
